"Hey! Big guy, look here. ”

Maurius provoked a massive monster that resembled a demon with a black knife in his arms.

The monster, with a short, thick tail trailing behind it, looked very bulky, and when it heard his voice, it turned around, its green eyes staring at him, and a reddish pillar of fire erupted from its mouth.

"Boom!"

The uncle jumped into the air long before its flames erupted, and the black knife slashed straight down, splitting the monster in half from head to toe.

"This guy's blood is also black and gray, and it seems to have been polluted by the aura of necromancy."

Maurius dodged its blood, wiped his knife against the grass beside him, and sighed:

"The Black Calamity is really harmful, and even S-class monsters have appeared in this kind of place close to the place where they live."

"There is a lot of experience with this kind of monster, master, there are about 32 million."

Stephanie said happily.

"How much experience have you accumulated?"

Xia sat bored on a branch and kicked his feet, asking in his mind.

This action is a habit of blonde Lori, and she learned it unconsciously; It's just that if it's done by a black-haired succubus with a mature atmosphere all over her body, it has changed from cute to lazy beauty.

"After upgrading the superpower to LV4, there will be a considerable amount of surplus, and in addition to the necessary reserves of the light of the transfer, there will be about 12 billion usable experience."

The little Lori in black reported to her:

"If you don't add superpowers, all of them are used to improve the LV of the profession, you can probably upgrade the main class of the swordsman by about 3 levels, and it will be used up just now."

"Can you only upgrade by 3 levels? It's not very efficient...... It took ten days to play with such a little experience, and there is still a top powerhouse in the mainland to lead the team. ”

Xia calculated the time to practice to LV720 in her heart, and found that it would be a very long process, because each level of promotion in the later stage required a lot of experience, and the number was so large that she didn't want to see it anymore, so it was completely left to the system Lori to worry about.

"Raise your absolute defense to LV4, and the rest of your experience points won't move."

She jumped down from the branch, drew her long sword and nodded at Uncle Black Knife:

"Maurius, come and play a few times, I feel like I've been getting stronger again lately."

"No, I've just killed a few big monsters, Miss Demon...... Sometimes you really look like a demon......" Uncle Black Knife muttered in a low voice.

"Give him a bottle."

Xia said to the little Lori in black.

"Oh, is it this magic potion again, thank you very much."

Maurius took a small bottle and drank the liquid with a happy face.

"Wow! This feeling of blood boiling! ”

There was a terrifying fluctuation in his body, and he looked at his bruised arm and said:

"Even if a dragon comes, I have the confidence to fight it."

Carrying the black knife on his shoulder, he looked at Xia and said:

"Miss Demon, I don't know if you deliberately concealed your true strength, or if you were progressing too fast...... Now you are like two people when you met at the lake, even I don't dare to defend all the time, let you press and fight. ”

"Who knows."

Xia didn't want to say too much on this issue, took out the rope and tied the long black hair into a ponytail, and then made a stabbing stance:

"This time I'll use a more powerful attack, I hope you don't be careless."

As she spoke, her black ponytail pulled in a straight line behind her, and the whole person disappeared in place.

"Attacking head-on, it's really confident."

Maurius held the knife in front of him and said with a warlike spirit.

The tip and blade of the sword vibrate, and his footsteps stood firmly in place, a circle of ripples in the air.

"It's kind of interesting."

His short hair was blown up by the air current:

"It seems to be a kind of vindictive...... It was the first time I had seen the structure of an object through vibration in actual combat. ”

Xia's long sword flipped over, and it still hit his knife with a stabbing attack, the same position, the same angle, but the strength increased a lot.

"Oh?"

Feeling the impact of the knife, Maurius actually took a step back.

"It seems that you are really hiding your strength, this kind of Cheng Dù's improvement is not something that can be done with a little more effort."

"Don't be defensive, uncle, the master's third sword is very powerful!"

The little Lori in black shouted to him at Xia's behest.

"Okay, I can't help but listen to the little lady's words, she has never deceived anyone."

I don't know how many times I have been sold in secret, the poor uncle said to himself:

"Then let's use a little bit of real character."

"The third sword!"

Natsu's mind recalled the scene when the demigod knight's spear stabbed out, and the triple overlapping attack contained in the sword body was pointed at the very center of the sword body at a strange angle, which was also the point where the opponent's power exploded.

The weapons of the two men collapsed upwards at the same time, bursting with explosive energy between the black knife and the long sword, and most of them rushed into the air.

Natsu's body spun and leaped backwards, canceling out what little momentum was left.

On the other hand, Uncle Black Knife, who had always had a surplus on his face, suddenly changed his expression and took three steps back in a row before he stood firm.

"That sword just now seems to make me feel a little like I'm facing an opponent of the same level."

Maurius was surprised:

"Did you use some secret method? It's going to leave a dark wound. ”

"It's just a move that stacks."

The characteristics of the Hurricane Swordsman are not some unspeakable secret, and Xia did not hide it.

Although she and Uncle Black Knife are not friends, they have been fighting together for a month, although the other party looks very honest, but they are definitely not really stupid, and they must be honest where they should be, otherwise they will definitely cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"yes, it seems like it's hard to learn."

Maurius touched his stubble and said:

"Stacked Attack...... This requires not only wrist strength, but also a clever use of the method to assist, I didn't expect that your swordsmanship skills are not inferior to magic. ”

"Thanks for the compliment."

Natsu stuck his sword on the ground, secretly recovering his numb wrist.

Although it seems that she didn't suffer much loss just now, in fact, she used a power that did not belong to her, and she would inevitably be punished, but fortunately she only attacked three swords, and the third sword really broke out, if the second sword broke out, then the weapon was probably going to be shocked away, and she couldn't hold it at all.

"The ripple fighting spirit can be attached to the blade of the sword to attack, but it doesn't seem to be very effective against an enemy like Maurius, and I still have to spend some effort to study this fighting spirit in the future."

"Are you still fighting?"

Uncle Black Knife seems to be interested:

"That kind of swordsmanship just now is very interesting......"

"No. 3, go and practice with him."

Natsu whistled and summoned the Black Spirit Knight who was hiding next to him.

"God, you've got this stuff that you don't know how to get tired again."

Maurius was stunned when he saw the dark knight's phantom face: "Their swordsmanship is all life-playing, and they are powerful, I don't like to fight with such a madman." ”

He shook his head vigorously and made a gesture to stop:

"Let's truce, I still like to play with beautiful women, it has an atmosphere...... Hey, wait, don't come here! ”

The Black Spirit Knight only listened to the summoner's words, ignoring his gestures at all, holding the long sword with cold light, and rushed forward with black gas in his mouth.

"Maurius, I have a question for you, is it your strength or the strength of the black spirits?"

Xia looked at the uncle who was forced to retreat by the Black Spirit Knight's lifeless fighting style.

"Of course it's me!"

Maurius stopped retreating.

I saw that he suddenly held a knife in both hands and swept towards the black spirit knight violently.

"Wow!"

There was a slight cracking sound on the long sword, and the Black Spirit Knight was shocked and took two steps back, and then pounced again.

Seeing Maurius screaming and fighting against the Black Spirit Knight, 2 kinds of white light appeared on Xia's body.

On the outside is ripple fighting energy, inside is superpowers, and then she is pleased to find one thing, that is, the consumption of absolute defense is no longer as amazing as it was when LV1.

Although it can't be the same as the ripple fighting spirit, it is open without scruples in the whole battle, but it can already support a short time.

"Whew-"

She drifted like a puff of smoke to Maurius's side, and struck him at the waist with her fist, not with her sword.

Even without using the Foresight Eye, Maurius's combat reaction was quite quick, and he took precautions almost as soon as she appeared beside him, waiting for the fist to slash across the Black Spirit's sword, and then bounce off Natsu's shoulder.

Natsu didn't dodge, he stood on the spot and stabbed him, tumbling and flying out like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily from the air to the ground.

Uncle Black Knife was stunned for a moment, and was almost slashed by the long sword.

He used his real power for the knife just now, although it was not big, but the knife in his hand was not an ordinary knife, and the consequences of slashing on such a delicate beauty can be imagined.

"Huhu, LV4's superpower is really useful."

Xia got up from the ground like no one, the ripples on the outside had cracked, but the white light inside was still fine.

"Hey...... Don't be scary, okay. ”

Maurius complained, struggling to block the Black Spirit's attack:

"This will scare people out of sickness, where can I find a doctor in this wilderness?"

"No. 3, come back and continue to be vigilant."

Xia got the number he wanted and summoned the black spirit back.

"The strength he used just now is about 40, and my mental power is almost 40, which means that if he attacks me with all his strength, even if I stand still, I won't be hurt."

"But...... After the mental power is exhausted, I probably won't be able to continue fighting. ”

She looked at the big S+ on the panel, and felt a little uncomfortable:

Obviously, according to what the little Lori in black said, it was promoted to LV4 at one time, but the evaluation still only rose a little bit.

"Uncle, let's hunt separately today and get some delicious food at night."

She jumped onto a boulder with her sword in hand and began to look for a suitable place to hunt.

"No problem!"

Uncle Black Knife made a gesture of understanding:

"I'm sure I'll be able to catch an earth dragon for you."

Late at night, Natsu quietly got up from the mat.

She placed a bag of pills and three small bottles on the ground and crept out of the cave where she was sheltering.

Set up several defensive magic circles and a warning barrier to appease the chirping birds that wanted to chirp, Xia sat on its body and glanced at the entrance of the cave, the bonfire inside was still burning warmly, and the snoring of the uncle was faintly heard.

"Master, can you leave without saying hello?"

The little Lori in black said beside her.

"This is the best way to part...... Uncle should also understand. ”

Natsu touched her head:

"Let's go, we have our own business to do."

The two of them took advantage of the darkness of the night to rush north, and a dark shadow lingered far behind them.

"Master, do you really want to keep following? We haven't seen it in days. ”

"Let's go find that weird teleportation array first."

Xia replied in his mind:

"If this continues, I will have to go abroad, and I don't want to travel abroad...... And it's about the same time, the cross-domain airship group is not available every week, and it takes a certain number of guests to take off; If you're unlucky, you might have to wait a long time, so we'll have to wait a little earlier. ”

"After finding the teleportation array, the master, we have been following it like this, I always feel so scared."

The little Lori in black wiped her eyes and said.

"What are you afraid of, haven't we already tried, absolute defense can resist mental attacks, as long as we don't get too close, we can easily escape from its range of activity."

Natsu comforted her to:

"According to my uncle's observations, the Black Calamity walks on a very regular route, although for some unknown reason, it does not seem to move in the direction of large cities, and it is often small and medium-sized villages and towns that suffer, with the exception of Pampolle Fortress."

"Let's go east and calculate the distance between the two teleportation arrays, and the next one should be found there soon."

After that, the two did not speak again, but hurried intently, and in the evening of the fourth day, a small valley appeared before their eyes.

"There's a high chance that there's a teleportation array hidden here, go down and take a look."

Natsu jumped off Shiratori's back and walked to the entrance of the valley, only to find that there was a winding path at the entrance that led around the valley to the plain behind.

"Oh no, there's a village around here."

Her heart sank:

"This road has been walked in the last two days, and there is more than one footprint; This valley is probably a place for people to chop wood and hunt nearby. ”

"Then what should I do, master, do you want to warn them? Once that knight appeared, the village would be destroyed in an instant. ”

The little Lori in black didn't dare to get too close to her master when she was in a hurry, and finally found an opportunity and immediately clinged to her.

"No, this kind of remote village is the most xenophobic, how can I, a stranger, talk about them, I have to think of other ways."

Natsu jumped up the cliff and felt across the valley among the trees and grass.

"That's it."

She came to the opposite hill, and below was a quiet, smoking village.

The village is not as serene as the atmosphere of a small town, it seems to have a strong atmosphere, and there are many more people in it than in the small town; Based on the size of the houses and the number of pedestrians on the streets, there must be hundreds of residents.

"Master, do you want us to pretend to be robbers and scare them?"

The little Lori in black noticed:

"Maybe they'll be scared to move."

"A robber for two?"

Natsu pinched her face:

"Unless you kill a lot of people at once and completely suppress them, you will only be besieged fiercely, not to mention that I don't want to do that kind of thing at all."

The little Lori in black covered her face and didn't speak, leaning on her coquettishly, Xia turned her gaze, thought about it for a moment in her head, and had a good idea:

"Robbers don't work...... There's something that can scare them away. ”

With a wave of her hand, she summoned the Black Spirit Knight and said in a deep voice:

"--The undead!"

"A few of you, you should summon your subordinates too, right? Give it a try. ”

She ordered the five Dark Spirit Knights:

"Don't be too fierce type, like skeletons, zombies, or whatever, summon more...... Are you calling? ”

She found that her orders were not working.

Could it be that the lich has been gone for a long time, and this group of guys will not be able to rebel?

"Master, they're probably the type they won't summon."

The little Lori in black stuck to her and came up with an idea:

"There must be beast bones and monster corpses around here, I'm afraid you can only do it yourself." R1152
